Chapter 297

“What’s it?” Kieran asked Zenith.

Instead of revealing the item, it was Jesse who’d been lurking by the doorway, suddenly striding into the room. Kieran and Julie’s friend Bolt, who they’d brought with them, thought something was up and followed him in.

Yet all Jesse did was close the room’s drapes before stepping back outside.

Bolt cast a bemused look at Kieran and Julie, only for Kieran to wave him off. Bolt then followed Jesse out, leaving Zenith to switch on the room lights and shut the door.

In the ensuing, eerily silent room, Zenith finally pulled out a small black box from his pocket and handed it to Kieran.

Since Zenith had wrapped it so carefully, it was clear he didn’t want Kieran and Julie to see what was inside.

“Who do you want us to give this to?” Julie asked Zenith.

Zenith didn’t name names, instead saying, “You’ll know when the time comes.”

Kieran set the box on the table, his eyes giving Zenith a measured glance as he asked, “Why are you so sure we’ll help you out?”

“Because I’m Lucian. How’s that for a reason?” Zenith countered, a smile curling up his lips that sent shivers down their spines.

The truth about Lucian that Julie and Kieran had been chasing for so long was now being self-proclaimed by Zenith, who they’d even used blood samples to test. Yet his devil-may-care attitude and stark difference from Lucian only muddied the waters further…

“So, you’re changing your tune now? No more denial?” Kieran held up the box.

“Didn’t you go for a blood test?” Zenith stood up, leaning onto the table, “After you deliver this to its rightful owner or get the test results from QuadDylan,

With that, Zenith drained his glass of red wine and left, not even touching his food.

Kieran clutched the box in his hand, only to see Zenith pause at the door to say, “Oh, and if you don’t want to get hit by a car again, keep this box a secret. And, I suggest you let her deliver it.”
